SNAP Broadening Formation Breakout Weekly Options Play

Short
BarnardR Updated   
NYSE:SNAP   Snap Inc.
Description
Snap has been working this pattern since DEC20, making its ATH in September of 21' and appears to have broken the lower accumulation line.
The trigger for the short position is @ 50 on the weekly time frame, but 49 on the daily time frame, so the position here is a starter. Following a back test or definitive continuation, I will be adding to the position or stopping out at 50.

Refer to this chart for the longer time frame:

Technical Indicators:
Break of lower accumulation line
Converging 50/200D EMA
Good volume on the breakout

I got my trigger to add to this position today, but was not able to due to my other job.
Holding below that 50 level though and looking weak.
Trade active:
Added to position with 12/31 43P's filled @ 1.33.
Trade active:
Closed out original re-entry @ 1.6, +36% only because it has 1 DTE as to attain whatever remaining TVP before it disappears on assignment day.
Trade active:
Added to position with 12/23 46Ps @ 2.58.
Trade active:
Held this today on heavy selling towards the close, expecting SNAP to be at the top of the new consolidation range.
I believe I am in a psychologically compromising position, and am looking for an exit.
